1. You might archieve that by setting aspect of alliance, for example to make given couple treat each other as Neutral.

2. Forces you to either remove attack command from unit or edit all the models yourself. War3 engine plays by default animation with string 'attack' as attack animation and the one with name 'death' as death animation. All you have to do is replace names for given Sequences.

However, if you want to do that for many models, it would require ton of imports and usually isn't worth it. There is no easier way unfortunately.

1. Try setting Ally - Trading incements in gameplay constant to 0.

2.

Find animation index:

    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Hero = Footman 0031 <gen>
      • Do Multiple ActionsFor each (Integer i) from 1 to 20, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex( udg_Hero , udg_i)
          • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String(i)) above Hero with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
          • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
          • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds
          • Wait 2.00 seconds

For multiple unit types, you can initialize the animation index into a hashtable and the load the correct index using the unit type id.

Maker you know that for many unit-types there must be a lot of coordination to make it looks proper. And to be honest, it's can be quite buggy if player spams actions.

Define a lot of coordination. There is no indication that it is required for multiple unit types. Even if it is, it's very simple to configure.

How can it be buggy?

I guess Maker's solution should work but :
- You should add the action "Queue Stand Ready animation".
- I think it is buggy too . I don't know, maybe it bugs when you pause/unpause the attacker or when he has special orb effects... But W3's engine always has flaws for things like that.

Nope, that way it can be played way too late.

I think...I don't know...maybe...

Pausing won't bug it. Having an orb effect won't either.
